There it is, I finally figured it out Gimme just a second, let me jot it down I won't let another moment slip by It's right here, no more searching anymore It checks out by the happy couple next door They use this answer all the time I'll try it out, it can't be that hard to do The first week, sure, like breaking in new shoes But it won't be long before it's second nature I feel calm. It's given me clarity Shaping all my words and carrying my feet Never been so hopeful of the future I know I've made progress, but I want it to breathe I haven't been sharing it with anybody but me I'm being critical, retuning my strings Don't we all have boxes full of broken things I've got the song, I've found my words I need to open up my ears and do some listening I need to do some listening Stay sharp, and handle yourself with care Search for the truth, and don't chase the dare You can so lost without warning Have faith in the people who taught you well And don't ever stop listening to yourself You both know what's best for your journey So step up, make your case, and take aim Shoot down your guilt, release the blame Cause I'm done with counting the score I think back on the night I took you home And we dragged the fighting to the phones What the hell were we arguing for? I'm taking my heartbreaks and setting them free Cause none of that matters where I'm going to be I'm being critical, retuning my strings Don't we all have boxes full of broken things I've got the song, I've found my words I need to open up my ears and do some listening A little more listening I know you think you've gone too far Too much remorse, too many scars It's such a shame you've been so vain But it's not too late to turn around Backtrack, and take the higher ground Everyone you love is waiting I'm being critical, retuning my strings Don't we all have boxes full of broken things (full of fixable things) I've got the song, I've found my words I need to open up my ears and do some listening I need to do some listening
